Tóm tắt

Japan is famous for many breakthrough innovations in science and technology, but it is facing a serious aging population. Therefore, there is a growing demand for human resources with adequate understanding of Japanese language, culture, and people, which promotes the development of the Japanese Studies (JS) major. In the context of globalization, the Japanese studies major in tertiary education attract considerable attention and pose significant problems. A review of relevant literature is present in this paper which highlights three main research trends on JS training at tertiary level: developing and implementing JS curriculum, developing JS faculty and students, and developing conditions and facilities to implement JS courses. The research also explores this emerging field and identifies some research gaps, including international Japanese studies training and coordination between stakeholders. In particular, research on JS training is mainly conducted by managers and scholars with many years of practical experience at their own educational institutions, therefore, there is insufficient in-depth theoretical research in this field.
